My invention relates to windjshieldsand refers particularly toinclinable wind shields capable of insertion within, and removable from, window frames. I 1

The many advantages incident tothe lI1-' 'clined wind shield which will upwardly direct the air entering beneath a raised lower window sash have led to their general, adop ;tion as a means of ventilation.

As wind shields constructed for particularwindows areexpensi've in-product-ion and are limited toj their employment with the particular windows'for which they are made,

' telescopic Windshields are generally*employed. v g i V Inclined Wind shields must be connected byson e side means with'the Window frame in order to allow of their retention i'n' their' inclined position, and hence, means must be employed for the fastening of these side members tothe window frame. I

The"usual method employed with wooden; Window frames is to nail, or screw, the side;

member to the frame, 'but this hasthe great disadvantage of permanently marringtlie window frame, and the removal of the screen" device uncovers I the holesfthus made vin the frame. a

bore; holes through the steel; or metal :Eran'ie,

and as this is practically impossible by an inexperienced person; and a's-jit requires special tools to accomplish it, considerable Y expenseand inconvenience is experienced;

QFurther the removal of the wind shield ex poses unsightly holes in the windowirame'. 1 ,I have overcoineall of the above, and 0th er,1objectionable {features incident to, wind shields and the device of ,my invention presents a wind shield 'capable of easy lattachment to Window frames, whether they be of ,wood or metal, without the use of nails,

screws or similar penetrating devices and without inyuring or -marrm'g the window frame. v
